I decided to separate the Reeves/Winter image just to make CRYSTAL clear the shows are unaffiliated (don't sue us, Keanu, we have no money), but I had a grand old laugh making that image homage with my meager Photoshop skills.
Regardless, please come see the show!

And wait.

Using Beckett's classic as a jumping off point, WAITING FOR [GAL] GADOT explores the existential absurdity of being alive in 2025.
It's a theatrical communion. We all face this world alone. Why not do it together?

Last week I got my copy of @juniba.bsky.social 's THE FABLES OF ERLKING WOOD from the great folks at @goatsflyingpress.com . BEAUTIFUL. I've already read it through twice to my 6-year-old at bedtime and I definitely got weepy both times. A truly lovely, thoughtful, compassionate book. I adore it.

"You know how I feel about the Gaza Strip. I think it's an incredible piece of important real estate. And I think it's something that we would be involved in. Having a peace force like the US there controlling and owning the Gaza Strip would be a good thing ... you call it the Freedom Zone."

Read this account of DOGE threatening gov't contracts to force former contractors to illegally enter a building, then read the judge hearing the case not enforcing a restraining order for fear it would lead to an armed standoff, then watch Schumer say "it ain't a problem yet, c'mon!"
![Hornok, a former Justice Department drug cartel prosecutor, was appointed by U.S. Attorney Ed Martin on March 3 after three-decade veteran Denise Cheung resigned. Cheung had refused to carry out what she said was a demand by Martin and acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove's to freeze the bank accounts of a $20 billion Biden administration environmental grant program without sufficient evidence.
"He said the ex officio directors, Rubio, Hegseth and Garvin, would like to inspect the books and records" of the institute, the person familiar said. Foote replied that they were welcome to come at "any reasonable time." When Hornok responded that "agents" would arrive at the building "with computers” on Monday, Foote told him the office would be closed.
"Anyone who obstructs our efforts is subject to criminal investigation," Hornok said, according to the person familiar with the call.
Hornok's and Martin's offices declined to comment.
O'Brien, the USIP security chief, compiled a timeline of what happened next.
"On Sunday, I personally notified the [Inter-Con] guard force that their contract was suspended and had them depart. letting them know all [entry] badges had been deactivated and they were not authorized on the property," O'Brien said in an interview. The contract was officially canceled Monday.
...
"On Monday, at approximately 2:30 p.m." four members of Inter-Con's local office "came onto the property and attempted to use their key cards to open the doors. Ken Jackson was sitting in a government Lincoln Navigator on 23rd Street." The security guards "walked around, trying different badge readers" on different doors. Eventually, one "who had retained a manual key to the building" used it to open a side door.
At the time, only O'Brien, Moose, USIP communications director Gonzo Gallegos and two lawyers were in the building. When the four entered and refused to leave, O'Brien said, the head of the Inter-Con team "said DOGE had called them and threatened every one of…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:33brbmgz7ekacuiwji32lcgj/bafkreido77fvjxyfebiwenj25meldow267qxavawoaetbb3cvomag6xz7u@jpeg)

If I were in charge of the Democrats I'd have all of them show up to Trump's speech tonight in giant papier-mache heads of his father, like the ones in the Shia Labeouf music video, and just sit still and silent the whole speech. Unsettle him. Freak him out. Give him nothing, make him feel haunted.

You're thinking of this cover from the special Lovecraft issue of the original run! A classic! Are you, perchance, signed up for the Kickstarter of the new English Language edition of the recent European METAL HURLANT relaunch? That beautiful Peach Momoko cover will be one of the first year covers!

I don't post as much on here as I should, certainly not enough about comics, even moreso about comics I don't work on. So let me say, in a week when I craved something weird and bold and beautiful, @joeyesposito.bsky.social sent me PEDESTRIAN #4, and he and @seanvongorman.bsky.social came through.
